Does Eddie Bravo promote drug use...

.....and if so, does it reflect badly on BJJ?

Draculino in particular has been very disapproving about Bravos' open cannabis use. Are top BJJers role models who should be careful about how they conduct themselves, especially bearing in mind the large amount of kids taking up bjj? Or should they only concern themselves with what happens on the mat?

When I was filming Rough Guide at Eddie's a few years ago, he said he wouldn't give someone a black belt, unless they got stoned with him.
Reason was it shows you have an open mind. In his eyes, if you didn't have an open mind, you wouldn't be able to get a black belt in 10th planet Jiu Jitsu.

His pupils were rather large when he told me that though... ;-)

I hope that's BS and he will award belts to people who don't smoke too. That is one of the more stupid things I've heard.

I get epileptic seizures if I smoke weed. Damn, that means I will never get my Black Belt from Eddie Bravo. Well it's been a nice life but not worth living any more, tell my mum I'm sorry...
